Abstract
During the years 1960–1980 a significant number of methods were proposed for the approximate calculation of multiple integrals (see the books by Stroud [11] and Davis and Rabinowitz [4]). Usually the publication of the description of one of these methods was accompanied by results from a few selected test problems. Users of these methods discovered that although good results could occasionally be obtained in a short time with a particular method, it was often the case that it took hours of computer time to produce inaccurate results. The original description of the methods usually provided only limited information about the practical range of application of the method, and it was not clear if there could ever be any practical means of testing the different methods.
